The Butterfly Ranch specializes in seeds and plants, grown in our gardens, which include many unique tropicals, annuals, and perennials.  We hope you enjoy browsing our website as well as our store.  

 

The Butterfly Ranch also has a Forum where gardeners get together. You can discuss garden plans, talk about plant propagation, arrange to swap some of your extra plants for other plants, and share pictures of your gardens.

If you'd like to join the discussions, visit with us at:

Evolving

We hope that one day The Butterfly Ranch will be a well-recognized botanical garden enjoyed by many.  We intend to keep expanding and changing, adding exotic plants to attract more wildlife and more human visitors.

                            Above are two of the creatures you may find wandering about our gardens.  Sam is the ever watchful garden supervisor.  He knows everything that goes on around here.  And don't be surprised if he's the first to greet you when you come for a visit.  He also does double duty as the butler, and he's often seen "herding" people to where they should be.

Tory is a computer guru.  Here you can see her helping us create this website.  She also greets visitors with exuberance, sneaking under Sam, hoping to steal a little attention from him.

If you're lucky, you may also catch a glimpse of one of the hummingbird moths that love to frequent my butterfly ginger.  See how big the one here is?  Almost as big as a hummingbird.  But some that visit are only as big as a bee and look completely different.

In May, we host an annual Butterfly Convention here at the Ranch.  The Convention is a small gathering where everyone brings a dish and we all meet and chat and exchange plants, garden items, craft items and ideas.  If you'd like to join, let us know.  

We have an Ebay store where we sell our extra plants, seeds, and garden accessories as well as books, CDs, DVDs, clothing, housewares and gift items.  So visit our store and check back often to see how our inventory changes.  And don't forget to see us first in the spring for some delightful new plants to add to your gardens.

Thank you for dropping by.  We hope you enjoy your visit to the Ranch.  If you have any questions or just wanna talk gardening, feel free to email us anytime.
